I love to make these Mint Irish Cream Brownies each year for St Patrick’s Day. They taste delicious with a combination of Baileys, mint and topped with a green frosting! I love the combination of moist, chocolatey brownies with coffee flavored Baileys and a hint of mint.
Start by whisking brownie mix, eggs, oil, and Baileys together. Bake the batter in a preheated oven for 30 minutes. Make the frosting by beating butter until light and fluffy with powdered sugar until smooth. Add Baileys, mint extract, and a pinch of salt. Tint the frosting with a few drops of green food coloring and spread on top of the brownies.
To make Mint Irish Cream Brownies, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper.
Whisk a box of brownie mix, 2 eggs, ½ a cup of oil and ½ a cup of Baileys.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven when a toothpick inserted comes out with some moist crumbs.
Leave the brownies to cool in the pan.
Beat ½ cup of butter using a handheld mixer until light and fluffy. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and beat until smooth, light and fluffy. Add ¼ cup of Baileys, ½ a teaspoon of mint extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat the ingredients until fully combined.
Add the remaining cup of powdered sugar and a few drops of green food coloring and beat until you have a smooth green frosting.
Once the brownies have cooled, spread the frosting on top and drizzle with melted chocolate.
Serve on St Patrick’s Day!
These Mint Irish Cream Brownies combine three of my favorite flavors - chocolate, Baileys and mint. Try them soon and remember to tag your instagram baking photos with #CookMeRecipes.
I made these for my husband and he loved the minty taste, he did mention that they were a little bit bland and needed more sugar added though.
